Firefox Software Update starts - indicates downloading and "connecting to server" - but never finishes.

I am runnng Max OS X 10.7.1

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb

    Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb with message download server unavailable or download file can not be read. This is a recent problem on my Macbook Pro.
    Any ideas?

    Your problem is that everyone seems to be using the same iTunes store account (ID).  That's fine when a family wants to share purchased items, but that's the rub - everyone is tapping into the same account, so they can download whatever is available.
    As for icloud accounts, icloud is designed for single user use.  If multiple users share the same icloud account then all their devices will be synced together - same emails, same contacts and calendars, same notes, etc.  There is no privacy or division of data in this scenario.  The usual advice is for everyone to have their own ID for icloud, and share the family ID for iTunes store.

  • Firefox is not upgrading; I download and run the installer, but the version stays the same.

    1. I'm on 64-bit Windows 7.
    2. Current Firefox version is 33.0 Yahoo edition 1.32
    3. Every time I open the About Mozilla Firefox dialog, an update appears to run automatically, followed by "Restart to Update." When I click on this button, Firefox closes but does not re-open. When I launch Firefox, it is still the old version.
    4. Have also tried restarting my PC, to no avail.
    5. I have encountered this problem in the past as well, and have subsequently gone back to Chrome. I really want to use Firefox because of Mozilla's respect for privacy; help! (and thanks).
    6. Automatic "educated guesses" about my system are wrong; they mistakenly report WinXp and Firefox 9.

    Thank you, Guigs2, for your reply. However, my Yahoo mail account also reports an older version of Firefox and therefore only shows my account in the Basic Mail format. This is even after having clicked through their link to their version of Firefox and trying to update.
    On a previous PC (also Win7, but 32-bit), I encountered this same problem and attempted to update through the Mozilla (not Yahoo) website, with the same results.
    I will uninstall Firefox and try reinstalling from the Mozilla site.

  • Firefox won't start after download and update

    I have win 7. I uninstalled Firefox and downloaded it again.
    The icon appears but the program won't start. I am so used to Firefox and don't want to use IE.
    I get a few messages:
    XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
    Location: chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/update.xul
    Line Number 14, Column 1:
    <wizard <="" ^="" id="updateWizard" p=""></wizard>
    I also get a message:
    "There is no disk in the drive-insert a disk into drive/device/hard disk4/dr4
    I uninstalled Firefox several times , still no luck
    I hope you can help me resolve this problem.
    Dkmc7

    Well I use system restore to an earlier date in May.
    Then I uninstalled all Mozilla files and then I reinstalled Mozilla 29.0.1 and
    now my Firefox Mozilla is working fine with all info in my profile intact.
    Thank you

  • I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

    I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    download with itunes, or with one of your devices, and re-try, most causes it the update server it self.

  • Do you want to allow changes from firefox software updater every time I attempt to connect to the internet

    Every time I attempt to connect to the internet I get a dialogue box that asks do you want to allow this programme to make changes? The publisher is Mozilla, and it also tells me that it relates to Firefox software updater. Never had this until about two hours ago! Also seemed to relate to a crash of McAffee, which happened at around the same time.. Don't know much about computers, but what I do know is that this has only just started... Help...???
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About two hours ago.

    I have the same problem is it spyware?

  • I am not able to do a software update as the download button is disabled. Why and any advise may i upgrade my software

    I am not able to do a software update as the download button is disabled. Why and any advise may i upgrade my software

    The download button will be disabled if you are not on a WiFi connection at the present time.
    My 4G/LTE connection is actually faster than my available WiFi (in this present location), but those are the rules...

  • The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.

    How can I solve this? Every time I have the option to update an application I receive the same notification: "The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs"

    Can we eliminate one minor possibility: are you in the UK and using Virgin Media cable connection? I ask because the latest 'Superhub' firmware is corrupting large downloads for some people.

  • Downloaded the latest update for iphone 4S and connected to icloud for the first time... Now, my contacts are gone!

    I just downloaded the latest update for iphone 4S and connected to icloud for the first time.  I now do not have any contacts on my phone... How do I get my contacts back??

    I have had a similar problem, except all of my text messages are gone too! My contacts have slowly started to come back, but it appears that my most recently added contacts are gone, and my messages are also gone still.

  • Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs. No iTunes now.

    Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
    Now, iTunes won't launch and can't be updated. Please help.
    If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.

    I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts. 
    You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode.  You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts. 
    If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again. 
    BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write. 
    I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer. 
    Good luck!

    Which latest update? Details get answers. Rather than using SU, DL and install from http://support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • I accidentally hit the install software update on my IPad and I am not by my computer and won't be for 2 weeks.  Is there any way I can get my IPad off the picture of connecting to ITunes?

    I accidentally hit the install software update on my IPad and I am not by my computer and won't be for 2 weeks.  Is there any way I can get my IPad off the picture of connecting to ITunes?

    No. You must connect your iPad to a computer (it does not have to be yours) in order to restore it to factory settings.
    Once you're home, you can restore it from a backup.
    Any content that you did not backup has been lost.
